Essiac contains four main botanicals - sheep sorrel, burdock root, the inner bark of the slippery elm and Indian Rhubarb. Each are purported by herbalists to have beneficial effects.* Sheep sorrel supports the endocrinal system.* Burdock root apparently eliminates free radicals and purifies the blood.* Slippery elm is believed to help maintain a healthy inflammatory balance in membranes and organs.* And Indian rhubarb reportedly helps the body, especially the liver, rid itself of wastes and toxins.*

Essiac helps to detoxify the body, support the immune system through the white blood cells, cleanse the blood and increase energy levels. Essiac is all natural - safe - effective - drug free with no side effects. Essiac can be taken in conjunction with any other vitamin or supplement and any prescription.

There will be a sediment in the bottom of the jar when you go to use it. There are things to do with the sediment:

1) The sediment can be shaken lightly and drank with the Essiac.
2) The sediment, when separated from the Essiac can be applied topically like a poultice to that area of the body.
3) If the above two do not apply, then the sediment can be left in the jar to reinforce the strength of Essiac.
